The Council of Florence was an important ecumenical council held from 1431 to 1445, aimed at addressing issues within the Catholic Church and promoting unity among Christians. It was convened by Pope Eugene IV and involved representatives from both the Latin Church and the Eastern Orthodox Church. The council sought to resolve theological disputes and improve relations between the two branches of Christianity. One of the key outcomes of the council was the declaration of the Filioque controversy, which concerned the procession of the Holy Spirit. Although the council produced several decrees and agreements, many of these were not fully accepted by the Eastern Orthodox Church, leading to ongoing divisions.
